Lake Manze Adventure Camp

Lake Manze Adventure Camp opened in 2007 on a prime location overlooking Lake Manze, which is one of the more northerly of a series of lakes and rivers within a rich alluvial floodplain of the Rufiji River. Set in a grove of borassus, doum and wild date palms, it lies at the heart of Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve, and was set up as a deliberately rustic camp to provide guests with fairly simple comforts and a strong sense of wilderness.

Our view of Lake Manze Camp

Lake Manze Camp is a great option for those wanting a slightly more rustic experience, that's a bit more like real camping, yet with all the basic comforts and good food. We found the staff and managers to be friendly and efficient, and – because Lake Manze is quite far from any other camps – you rarely see other vehicles while on a drive. Partly hosted, in that the managers often eat with guests, and with a great atmosphere, it’s also among the more affordable of the camps in the reserve, and we think it delivers great value for money.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
